A MATINEE.

| The Legislature closed the extra SEES

performance In the Senate, comedy being
substituted for the serious entertainments
that have filled the season.
Our Bachelors was the piece pre-
scented, and though it had been performed
so long by those sterling comedians
Robson and Crane, we believe that it is
only to reflect the opinion of the audi

standard
The title rails were taken by Messrs
IIeaton and Gordon as The Bachelors.
Regardless Of that lack of inspiration
that turks IN empty benches, the emf

rose to hispari with that conscienciousness
that marks true artist and in reading
the brilliant passage closing with "the
courteous manner in which he has chap
croned the ladies" his voice and gestures
were excellent

to speak his line. "The Chair would like

pose was characterized by thorough ar

praise also to Nj Ellyson in the serious
